United States Patent 3,197,716 CONTROLLED RECTIFIER RELAXATION OSCILLATOR Maurice James Wright, Harborne, Birmingham, and Fred-\ erick Herbert Laislrley, Solihuil, England, assignors to Joseph Lucas (Industries) Limited, Birmingham,
England Filed Sept. 10, 1962, Ser. No. 222,387 Claims priority, application Great Britain, Sept. 18, 1961,
33,321/ 61 4 Claims. (Cl. 331--111) The object of this invention is to provide an oscillatory circuit in a convenient form.
The present invention makes use of a device known as a controlled rectifier, the characteristic of which is that if a triggering pulse is applied between its gate and cathode terminals the rectifier becomes conductive, and thereafter continues to conduct, even when the triggering pulse is removed, until the anode-cathode current falls practically to zero. Furthermore, it has recently been discovered that controlled rectifiers manufactured in a certain manner have the additional property that they can be switched off by a pulse of opposite polarity (but not necessarily of equal magnitude) applied between the gate and cathode. Throughout this specification the term switchable rectifier is used to mean a controlled rectifier having this additional property, a convenient method of manufacturing a switchable rectifier being described in pending application No. 211,674, filed July 23, 1962.
An oscillatory circuit in accordance with the invention comprises in combination a switchable rectifier adapted for connection to a source of power and having a load in its anode-cathode circuit, a first capacitor arranged to be charged when the switchable rectifier is non-conductive, a first four-layer diode arranged to break down when the voltage across the first capacitor reaches a predetermined value, at which point the first capacitor discharges to render the switchable rectifier conductive, a second capacitor arranged to be charged when the switchable rectifier is conductive, and a second four-layer diode arranged to break down when the voltage across the second capacitor reaches a predetermined value, at which point the second capacitor discharges to render the switchable rectifier nonconductive.
In the accompanying drawings, FIGURES l to 3 respectively are circuit diagrams illustrating three examples of the invention.
Referring first to FIGURE 1, there are provided first and second terminals 4, 5 adapted for connection to a source of power so as to be of relatively positive and negative polarity respectively, the terminal 5 conveniently being earthed. The terminal 5 is connected to the cathode of a switchable rectifier 6 having its anode connected to the terminal 4 through a load 7.
The gate of the switchable rectifier 6 is connected to the terminal 5 through two parallel circuits, one of which includes a four-layer diode 8 and a capacitor 9 in series, and the other of which includes a four-layer diode 10 and a capacitor 11 in series. A point intermediate the tourlayer diode 8 and the capacitor 9 is connected to the anode through a resistor 12, whilst a point intermediate the four-layer diode 10 and capacitor 11 is connected to thes anode through a resistor 13 and a capacitor 14 in series. Finally, a point intermediate the resistor 13 and capacitor 14 is connected to the terminal 5 through a resistor 15, which could be replaced by a diode.
In operation, assuming that the oscillatory circuit is connected to the source of power and the switchable rectifier 6 is non-conductive, the capacitor 9 is charged until the voltage across it reaches a value at which the fourlayer diode 8 breaks down. At this point the capacitor 9 discharges and renders the switchable rectifier 6 conductive.
During the non-conductive period, the capacitor 14 is also charged, and as soon as the switchable rectifier 6 is conductive the capacitor 14 discharges into the smaller capacitor 11. The voltage across the capacitor 11 rises until a value is reached at which the four-layer diode 10 breaks down, at which point discharge of the capacitor 11 renders the switchable rectifier 6 non-conductive. This cycle continues until the power source is removed.
In the modification shown in FIGURE 2, a resistor 17 is interposed between the resistor 12 and the anode, and a Zener diode 18 is connected between the terminal 5 and a point intermediate the resistors 12, 17. Moreover, a resistor 19 is interposed between the resistor 13 and the capacitor 14, and a second Zener diode 20 is connected between the terminal 5 and a point intermediate the resistors 13, 19. The additional components determine the charging voltages of the capacitors 9, 11, so that the period of the oscillatory circuit is not affected by fluctuations in the supply voltage. Preferably the gate is connected to the terminal 5 through a resistor 16.
In the example shown in FIGURE 3, there are provided terminals 21, 22 and a switchable rectifier 23 having anode and cathode connections as in the first example the load being shown at 24. The gate of the switchable rectifier 23 is connected to the terminal 22 through parallel paths one of which contains a resistor 25, and the other of which contains a four-l-ayer diode 26 and capacitor 27 in series. Moreover, a point intermediate the four-layer diode 26 and the capacitor 27 is connected to the anode through a variable resistor 28.
The gate is connected to the terminal 21 through a capacitor 29 and a resistor 30 in series, a point intermediate the capacitor 29 and resistor 30 being connected to the terminal 21 through a four-layer diode 31 and a capacitor 32 in series. A point intermediate the four-layer diode 31 and capacitor 32 is connected to the anode through a variable resistor 33.
In operation, when the switchable rectifier 23 is nonconductive, the capacitor 27 is charged until the four layer diode 26 breaks down, at which point discharge of the capacitor 27 renders the switchable rectifier 23 conductive. The capacitor 32 is now charged until the fourlayer diode 31 breaks down, at which point discharge of the capacitor 32 renders the switchable rectifier 23 nonconductive. The lengths of the periods of conduction and non-conduction can be varied by the resistors 28, 33.
